2. The Problem
Companies Build:
- Thermal Power Plants
- Bridges
- Ships
- Rockets
MANAGING WELDING CERTIFICATIONS 1 - Certification is mandatory
2 - Qualification from a certificate is
limited
3 - Certificates pile up
4 - Managing them becomes hard
and time consuming

3. The Problem
Welding this: Qualifies you to: (min) and (max)
Engineers have to compare all project requirements and pipe sizes, with all the
company's certificates one by one. And not just on size, but on 15 to 20 additional
variables
Issues of real companies based on welding certifications
Overlapping qualifications
Project halt

4. Solution
Searching through certificates' different variables
Creating welding procedures based on the
certificates and industry standards
Reminders for expiration dates on certificates
